With the above post, you are now the funniest person on the board.

Maybe a good thing we avoided this guy

I said this awhile back when the name change issue was a hot button topic. If the name changes, which I hope it doesn't, make it the Washington Pigskins. Very similar to Redskins, has a football meaning, and hopefully will only piss off the American Pig Farmers Union which doesn't have as big a lobbying presence in Congress.

Snyder actually might be the type of guy to take PETA's suggestion and change the teams mascot to a potato just to spite everyone. I hope it doesn't come to that as it would make great cannon fodder for fans of our rival teams.

I just think it would be a big FU to everyone if the team doesn't have a name. Without a new team name, every fan and the public would continue to call the team Redskins, yet officially the team would not have a name so the media can refer to the team as Washington (which many already do).

Plus we could have a hogette as the emblem. Im actually warming up to the idea.

Honestly if they changed to pigskins I'd have to find a new team.

Because many people find the team name offensive, The Washington Redskins have changed it. From now on, the team will be simply known as The Redskins.

Interesting you keep a ranking. I think you should have an active poll like college football, maybe update it monthly?

I always liked the Washington White Tips. (the shark)
Have a moderately looking aggressive shark logo on the helmet.
Change the colors to red white and blue. (we are the nations capitol after all)
Blue shark, white tips on the fins, red mouth.....
Have fins run down the piping on the pants like the Seahawks.
